Support Our Aging Religious (SOAR!) raises funds to ensure the safety, comfort and dignity of aging Catholic sisters, brothers and priests. SOAR! supports the efforts of the institutional Church by distributing grants to address the immediate needs of aging religious across the United States. These grants typically provide practical assistance such as renovations for accessibility, hospital beds, nurse call stations, automatic doors and assistive devices. Because of SOAR! grants, many women and men religious are able to remain with their communities. The grants also help the congregations devote more of their resources to their active ministries.
